Merry Maslennitsa with the Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation

On March 1 and 2 the team of Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation held the Maslennitsa folk festival!  Maslennitsa Zagrava entertainment as a part of the Revival of Cultural and Moral Values program of the foundation has become a welcome addition to the Kievan Rus park activities. At the foundation playground everyone could spend an entertaining pastime.

For many years on Maslennitsa Tuesday the bravest men climbed the pole for gifts.

The Foundation staff continued this tradition, but instead of the pole children and adults were able to try their hand at modern climbing-wall, and get nice prizes – brand cookies, candies and towels from the foundation . Under the leadership of the country ‘s leading game technicians , social educator and composer Natalia Miedinova, and director Vadim Miroshnichenko everyone could participate in gaming competitions, warm up and learn more about the history of Maslennitsa. Hot dances in colorful dresses, children’s laughter created a memorable weekend filled with contests and positive atmosphere of mutual understanding. Indeed, in each of the events the whole families could participate!

Besides climbing walls relays and visitors of Kievan Rus in the day rode in a chariot, witnessed the fire show and knightly competitions, and also tried themselves in a medieval cooking.

We believe that families who visited an entertainment area of the Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation in the Kievan Rus park, will keep pleasant memories for a long time. After two days they became not only sportive, but also more amicable, cheerful and sociable. After all with love in our hearts we are building a new world!
